❛ when was the last time you ate something? ❜ for gabi !
❛ Don't ask stupid questions! I'm fine. ❜ The young girl's head snaps towards Falco, and she retorts immediately – as if on instinct. In fact, her gaze only flits down towards the halved piece of bread in Falco's hands after she has already responded. Her stomach, though, has other plans. Her stomach betrays her. It begins to growl, rumble... and the piece of bread Falco holds out towards her is looking more and more appetizing by the second. Truth is – she's starving. She can't remember the last time she's eaten a proper meal. And it seems Falco knows her well enough to not retract his offer right away. So eventually – and it doesn't take long – Gabi swallows her pride and reaches out. She all but snatches the bread from his hand, raising it to her mouth and biting a chunk from it.
A few moments of silence pass – barring Gabi's ravenous chewing – before she speaks again. Her tone is almost sheepish, yet it remains laced with her signature stubbornness, that now slightly wounded dignity of hers. ❛ ... Thanks. ❜
